the council member of that district is simply bluffing. She has done nothing to house these people. She is simply collecting a big fat paycheck, benefits and a huge pension for her. It is terrible. I applaud that couple for doing such a great sacrifice to help these people who are meth addicts,drug addicts, alcoholics etc.. They will not succeed but the fact that they are trying is simply amazing.
you are correct..this is why this problem doesnt get resolved and only gets worse...there are many people making big money to simply shift papers and dont want to see the gravy train stop!

@@Paiadakine Thats because you are responsible and play by the rules. These assholes have nothing, so they have nothing to loose. They should be rounded up and put in a fenced encampment in the desert. The billions of dollars being put into the "homeless" problem is a joke. Lot's of people getting rich on that one. They will never be an asset to society. I'm so done with the feel good woke BS.
@@midlifemotox I just read Calif allocated $10B for the homeless problem these last three years. Not sure how much was state and how much was fed money but it’s all taxes we paid. I sure can’t see where that money went. What a waste.
@@Paiadakine I'm going to do the math. What is the homeless population vs how many Billions of dollars are being spent. You could probably make each homeless person a millionaire at this rate. If you made a dollar a second,, it takes 12 days to make a million. To make a billion it takes 32 years. People don't conceive how much money that actually is. I drive down the streets in Burbank and it's all good. As soon as I cross into North Hollywood, it like the zombie land. Los Angeles county politicians are useless... I really never cared until now...
I was born in LA, I went to visit the family there for the first time in 15 years. The amount of homeless tents and RVs is RIDICULOUS. It’s literally everywhere
I'm one of them. I'm paying $400/mo to rent one of these RVs from some guy I found on Facebook marketplace because I couldn't find anything else affordable. There's no electricity or running water. It's dark and cold at night. I work. I'm not on drugs. I'm not mentally ill. I've just have a lot of bad luck and debt and car problems since covid. I can't afford to rent proper housing at these current prices. Plus I have an eviction on my record from after when my mom died of cancer. I've spoken with cops and housing program workers but nobody can seem to help. No housing is available except for shelters, which I can't do. I have cats and work late and need my privacy. What's the solution for us? I'm already doing everything I can, and I can't afford to move. I recently tried getting a janitorial job to get back onto my feet, but then I got fired over too many homelessness related problems, ironically. Now I'm back to doing Uber/Lyft/Instacart until my car breaks again. Passengers with luggage hate getting me as their driver. My car is filled with important personal belongings that I can't keep in the RV because they aren't safe there. I don't know what I'm going to do once my car breaks again. The car is a lemon. I already put my dad over $3k into debt for the last transmission rebuild. In addition to over a year's worth in missed car payments, since I fell into homelessness. He can't help me again. I haven't even paid him back for last time yet. I just feel like giving up on society and turning to crime. Why do I even bother anymore? Nobody cares anyway. I'm sick of begging and suffering everyday and getting nowhere.

Most of these people aren’t all from California, people come from all around the country because of how much “free” “government assistance” California gives whether you’re a drug addict or just don’t want to work, u will get help no questions asks. Only encourages people to become lazy and more addicted to whatever they’re on

The degradation of our society is appalling. The America I grew up in is gone. I feel for these people but many of them don't want help. Living in such filthy conditions is a recipe for disaster. Heartbreaking to see such hopelessness.
I'm paying rent to live in one of these RVs. I work. I'm not on drugs. I've talked to cops and housing program counselors but nobody can seem to help me. They wanted to get me into a rapid rehousing program months ago but there's no vacancies. I've been calling to follow up but nothing ever comes of it.
@@PKPhoenix83 They all have the problem, but it's uniquely bad in CA. As in, disproportionately bad in CA. But yeah, those other places have it and it's policy related.
I have so many feelings about this. Why do some people try to ruin it for everyone...people try to help, but other people take advantage and just leave all their garbage everywhere...
There is always that one person or group of people who don't care and everyone pays for their carelessness I also have mixed feelings about the homeless cuz most don't bother you but all that buildup is hard to live with in a constant matter

You are 100% right as I’ve written above it is the city council members and the city government leaders that have accepted these jobs and the paychecks. This is their job to take care of this and protect the city, and the people of the city and they are not doing it. My fear is, it will get worse and worse and it will take over.

Its called pass new laws when it comes to RV ownership- enforce a yearly inspection - no inspection sticker/ not allowed on the street = towed - RV can't be parked no less than 50ft from fire hydrant - If it catches fire the OWNER is responsible of have it being removed/towed within 8 hours-( financial lien) Then to get it through the homeless heads every Monday n Friday - bobcat right down the sidewalk throwing away anything in it's path - ITS PUBLIC PROERTY all citizens get to have access - NO blocking the sidewalk.
@@1ManInASuitthe VA has tiny homes on the West L.A. campus w/ 24/7 security and it’s still a disaster! Drugs, crime, and lawlessness. And these are _veterans_ ! Imagine the general public in a tiny home village. 😬
The folks in SoCal just don't get it, they can't see the forest for the trees. Every effort made to " help " the homeless only serves to promote homelessness. Sure, it's a tough fact to acknowledge, but subsidizing that behavior does nothing to discourage it. This problem didn't occur overnight, and the various " programs " laid out by City, County, and State officials have only made things worse. Isn't it time to consider a change of approach?
If they keep on causing people to become homeless, then the homeless will overrun the capitol building, and that's one of the ways it will work itself out.
I agree and i am a life long democrat. These people need to be forced into the desert. There are ghost towns they can inhabit with this crap. The leaders are dropping the ball.

Let’s send $$, supplies to other Countries. And let’s not forget the folks entering our country illegally and we are housing them in motels, providing them $$ and food stamps but yet we do nothing to help our own who are living here in the US living in the streets.

The politician stated that she "will be" doing something which means she hasn't done anything up to the point that the news has just brought new attention to this situation. Politicians aren't working for the people.
No they dont. They report what's convenient. While Fox 11 does a better job than most local news, the mainstream media is selective on its coverage. The media could help end homelessness if all aggressively went after the governor and all top politicians, but they wont.

What no one wants to admit is that most of these people are beyond help. There are resources to get off the street if you want. These people just want to live in lawlessness and do drugs all day.
Yep, and they have 8 kids running around because they just keep birthing them out and then the kids don't go to school, see their parents slumped over day and in day out. The parents don't teach the kids how to talk half the time, teach them nothing just have them "play outside" on the side walk for yearssss at a time and NEVER send them to school, and we just let this happen? Hammer needs to come down. All those off spring will completely illiterate insane.
Not most. Some. It’s often said California is too expensive and this is just the byproduct. There’s so much to it than just drugs and everything being expensive.

With average 1 bedroom rents going over $2K/month what do you expect. Solving the problem is not 'challenging' its bureaucratic and corpo greed. There are plenty of abandoned malls, buildings, etc that can be converted to solve a lot of this homelessness instead of rotting and becoming an eyesore but it costs money, the politicians have no problems throwing 100s of millions around or sending Billions overseas they just WONT spend it helping their own country first

There are approximately 65 kids there if I could I'd get them out of that situation someone needs to help the kids get better living conditions I hope they get them out before they end up dead, on drugs, or sexually exploited.

@@sarbantz drugs are one of the main reasons for homelessness I think they should try to help addicts with rehabilitation and if they choose to keep doing drugs then let them, but the kids are innocent until it's too late I worry about what will become of those kids lives they still have a chance and not get stuck in the cycle of homelessness, drugs, sexual exploitation, and death.

Hi. I'm a van lifer. It's criminal what some rv parks are charging for a slip. It's as much as an apartment so the homeless strike out there as well.

Here in Boston we have people living on their boats, and they're called 'live-aboards'. Live-aboards are not considered homeless. So I don't get it when someone living in an RV with a roof over their head can be considered 'homeless'?
Is this a joke? This couldn’t be any more bias. The story is about the homeless people living in the RV’s, and she spends more time putting words in their mouths like “with no intention or desire to leave this lifestyle” than the subjects of the story. Meanwhile, they interview a business owner. I could go on.

The problem is drugs and welfare. Before the mid-1960s and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, we didn’t have problems to this degree. Politicians have created these problems. Why do you think our southern border is wide open? Because there is big money in allowing drugs and human trafficking to come across.
@@SteviePaints I like how you think !) The homeless make an excellent boogie-man and excuse for extra taxation too, creates a demand for "government" "services"...
Also, when you spend few $$ to buy a piece of land in the middle of the desert (Off Grid) and you are not allowed to stay with your RV to live or just to build a shed big enough (off Grid) to live decently that is better than to be in the street for years ! isn't it so stupid too ? You are living in a RV for years (I am not talking about a trash RV) and you decide to place your RV and live in the middle of nowhere, and you cannot !! really. When in the meantime, all counties have piece of land using as junk field for useless, obsolete vehicles or tools !!!! in the same zoning where your land is located !!!

@@lutomson3496 there is no recreational drugs use any longer with fentanyl around. If you flirting with drugs even just marijuana, you are extremely likely to end up smoking fentanyl without even realizing it which would be your death sentence. Heroin addicts used to hit the rock bottom and change their lives by going to detox and rehab. The rock bottom for fentanyl and modern synthetic drugs addicts is nothing else but do miserable death ☠️💀⚰️

back when the old people were young we wouldn't have allowed the first one to park. end of problem, the vets came home from the wars in the early 50's soom sooner and life had a reason and BS was not tolerated. no parades of perversion. no boys in the girls lockeroom. no homeless taking over anything. we had jails and we were not afraid to use them. what happened, to common sense. California is becoming a shithole state very fast. cut bank Montana population 3200 no homeless no broken down rv's. no crime to speak of. maybe somebody was fishing without a current license. 9 churches its mostly white and native and we all love each other and are glad for each member of our small town 50 below in the winter 110 in the summer. nothing like a log on the fire in winter and a good AC in the summer.
@@willscheck8072 You do realize that LA is only a tiny part of California, right? And you also realize that this section of LA is just a tiny portion of LA. Yet you're ready to call the entire state a "shithole" just because of what the media chooses to show you.
It's not complex, the leaders of our society do nothing for the people, and hoard all the wealth. This problem could easily be solved if they wanted to solve it.
Looking like a 3rd world country is an understatement. But LA city and county allowing humans to become stray and farrel animals is also a story of it's own. The rest of the nation sees and calls California the "Nanny State." This is what happens when people over abundantly become too dependent in a non-decriminalized environment. Breaking laws and ordinances is the standard of living.
thats only part of the equation. city officials make $$$ the more dysfunctional it is, via US govt funding. cant fix it if the leadership doesnt want it fixed to begin with...

Billions and billions of dollars to Ukraine could have fixed the homelessness problem. Housing, mental health facilities, rehab facilities....will provide jobs for medical professionals, construction workers, social workers etc. ALL OVER THE USA. Enuff spending on useless wars. America is in crisis!!
Homelessness problem can not be fixed if you do not insist on personal accountability. Keep feeding them and give them money to sustain this lifestyle and it is never going to end. Ukrainians are fighting for the just cause while throwing money on the homeless will only attract more.
I don't belong to any political party but I wanted to point out the stark difference between Trump and Biden; Trump wanted us out of all wars while Biden is hot to trot to fight anyone. It may seem that we're "helping" Ukraine but in reality we're fighting a proxy war with Russia. Biden hates Russia because they won't bow to the 'one government' crowd who belong to the UN, WHO, WEF, WMF, etc. Neither will China and now Biden is poised for a proxy war with them via Taiwan. Bottom line is; you ain't seen nothing yet.
You are clueless. This was a problem before the war in Ukraine ever started. It's people like you who vote for Democrats and their failed policies. Now 500 plus RVs ruin it for the hard working thousands of people who have to see this everyday. These people don't want help or shelter housing. They are lazy, drug users. Why don't you take in a homeless family? At least the women and children of Ukraine appreciate our help.
Actually, this isn't just LA, we are an emerging 3rd world country now ourselves; thanks to the contemporary version of Capitalism, that has abandoned any semblance of competitive Capitalism. We have become a for profit society with no compassion for anything other that capital gain.

They will not succeed but the fact that they are trying is simply amazing.

They will never be an asset to society. I'm so done with the feel good woke BS.
@@midlifemotox I just read Calif allocated $10B for the homeless problem these last three years. Not sure how much was state and how much was fed money but it’s all taxes we paid. I sure can’t see where that money went. What a waste.
@@Paiadakine I'm going to do the math. What is the homeless population vs how many Billions of dollars are being spent. You could probably make each homeless person a millionaire at this rate. If you made a dollar a second,, it takes 12 days to make a million. To make a billion it takes 32 years. People don't conceive how much money that actually is. I drive down the streets in Burbank and it's all good. As soon as I cross into North Hollywood, it like the zombie land. Los Angeles county politicians are useless...

Protecting the crackheads and criminals. Voters need to wake up or nothing will change.
Its called pass new laws when it comes to RV ownership- enforce a yearly inspection - no inspection sticker/ not allowed on the street = towed - RV can't be parked no less than 50ft from fire hydrant - If it catches fire the OWNER is responsible of have it being removed/towed within 8 hours-( financial lien) Then to get it through the homeless heads every Monday n Friday - bobcat right down the sidewalk throwing away anything in it's path - ITS PUBLIC PROERTY all citizens get to have access - NO blocking the sidewalk.
Another suggestion - buy a few tiny homes put them in a empty lot - turn it into a HOA type of situation -
@@1ManInASuitthe VA has tiny homes on the West L.A. campus w/ 24/7 security and it’s still a disaster! Drugs, crime, and lawlessness. And these are _veterans_ ! Imagine the general public in a tiny home village. 😬
The folks in SoCal just don't get it, they can't see the forest for the trees. Every effort made to " help " the homeless only serves to promote homelessness. Sure, it's a tough fact to acknowledge, but subsidizing that behavior does nothing to discourage it.
This problem didn't occur overnight, and the various " programs " laid out by City, County, and State officials have only made things worse.
Isn't it time to consider a change of approach?
If they keep on causing people to become homeless, then the homeless will overrun the capitol building, and that's one of the ways it will work itself out.

Thank you Governor Newsome
The little kid was raised good, he called them campers.
I am homeless and I have 15 kids to feed the government needs to take care all my kids
You can’t help people that don’t want it.
What no one wants to admit is that most of these people are beyond help. There are resources to get off the street if you want. These people just want to live in lawlessness and do drugs all day.
Yep, and they have 8 kids running around because they just keep birthing them out and then the kids don't go to school, see their parents slumped over day and in day out. The parents don't teach the kids how to talk half the time, teach them nothing just have them "play outside" on the side walk for yearssss at a time and NEVER send them to school, and we just let this happen? Hammer needs to come down. All those off spring will completely illiterate insane.
No there aren't. Most programs and outreach orgs are scams. They provide the smallest help and take on all that sweet money for overhead costs.
What resources? I live here in Cali and there are none! No low income housing just nothing
@evanshall the gaslighting certainly helps.
Not most. Some. It’s often said California is too expensive and this is just the byproduct. There’s so much to it than just drugs and everything being expensive.

With average 1 bedroom rents going over $2K/month what do you expect. Solving the problem is not 'challenging' its bureaucratic and corpo greed. There are plenty of abandoned malls, buildings, etc that can be converted to solve a lot of this homelessness instead of rotting and becoming an eyesore but it costs money, the politicians have no problems throwing 100s of millions around or sending Billions overseas they just WONT spend it helping their own country first

Very unsettling to know the firetruck can't even get to the hydrant. Any place else someone would get a ticket. Also as that one guy said; not everyone wants help because he rather have this freedom.
Took the Compton bus to downtown from the Rosa Parks trains set: (they were renovating the tracks). Cars blocking almost every apt. access. Tow them. They're never run again, and you need in Calif. to pay for non licensed cars. In El Monte we aren't allowed to park on ANY part of our yard that isn't paved.

Here in Boston we have people living on their boats, and they're called 'live-aboards'. Live-aboards are not considered homeless. So I don't get it when someone living in an RV with a roof over their head can be considered 'homeless'?
This is the first time I seen journalism about homelessness that is not biased. Good stuff. I hope one day they find a solution to homeless problem.
Is this a joke? This couldn’t be any more bias. The story is about the homeless people living in the RV’s, and she spends more time putting words in their mouths like “with no intention or desire to leave this lifestyle” than the subjects of the story. Meanwhile, they interview a business owner. I could go on.

No amount of money is going to fix those people. Too many of them are far gone. They've reached the point of no return.
As long as we have Greedy & Corrupt politicians the homelessness will never end
as long as homeless and poor trash keep having baby after baby they don't want, won't raise and can't afford we'll have homeless people
There you go! Can't get them out so they light them on fire!
Shout out Leonard and his son for the compassion for the downtrodden iam sure they deal with a lot
This is beautiful 😍
You must be from China
Actually, this isn't just LA, we are an emerging 3rd world country now ourselves; thanks to the contemporary version of Capitalism, that has abandoned any semblance of competitive Capitalism. We have become a for profit society with no compassion for anything other that capital gain.
Exactly. I'm paying $400/mo to rent one of these RVs from some guy I found on Facebook marketplace because I couldn't find anything else affordable. There's no electricity or running water. It's dark and cold at night. I work. I'm not on drugs. I'm not mentally ill. I've just have a lot of bad luck and debt and car problems since covid. I can't afford to rent proper housing at these current prices. Plus I have an eviction on my record from after when my mom died of cancer. I've spoken with cops and housing program workers but nobody can seem to help. No housing is available except for shelters, which I can't do. I have cats and work late and need my privacy. What's the solution for us? I'm already doing everything I can, and I can't afford to move. I recently tried getting a janitorial job to get back onto my feet, but then I got fired over too many homelessness related problems, ironically. Now I'm back to doing Uber/Lyft/Instacart until my car breaks again. Passengers with luggage hate getting me as their driver. My car is filled with important personal belongings that I can't keep in the RV because they aren't safe there. I don't know what I'm going to do once my car breaks again. The car is a lemon. I already put my dad over $3k into debt for the last transmission rebuild. In addition to over a year's worth in missed car payments, since I fell into homelessness. He can't help me again. I haven't even paid him back for last time yet. I just feel like giving up on society and turning to crime. Why do I even bother anymore? Nobody cares anyway. I'm sick of begging and suffering everyday and getting nowhere. This is bullshit
Congratulations LA! You dreams answered...
Damnn this is pretty sad. Pretty sure each and everyone of them had a different life before ending up like that. 🙏🏽
Nah. trash goes to the bone.
Yea they weren’t doing drugs. Then one day they decided to do drugs. End of story.
@@FightOstinFight nah. there are no jobs. it's either be in the top x% or end up homeless, and x gets smaller every year. Right now the labor force participation rate is 50%. You think half the country are on drugs?
Thank you David Matthews!
I live here in an RV and have never even heard of David Matthews.
I've been asking for help for months and I'm still stuck here paying $400/mo to live in one of these RVs. I work and I'm not on drugs.
